BC Grasslands

The fragmentation and development of grasslands is denigrating the social, cultural and ecological aspects associated with grasslands. This is a complex issue that stems from many interrelated factors. In order to gain an understanding of the problem, we must examine how the legislative framework, conservation issues, socio-economic aspects, and land use planning and decision- making processes interrelate. The myriad of issues associated with this problem need to be scrutinized, clarified, and applied to future land use and decision- making processes if we are to make sizable gains towards the conservation and stewardship of BC's grasslands. The Grasslands Conservation Council of British Columbia is a province-wide non-government organization with a mandate to promote and ensure the conservation and stewardship of B.C.’s
grasslands.
